  • Shifty Panther: 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis with Manual Swap

    Shifty Panther: 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis with Manual Swap

    The Panther platform had a very long life, mostly underneath taxis, police cars and grandparental transport. These offered rear-wheel drive and periodically attracted enthusiasts off and on over the years, with the Mercury Marauder being the ultimate factory iteration.

  • Dream Wagon? 1981 AMC Eagle with Ford 302 and Five-Speed

    We don’t think it gets much cooler than this build. Sure, this wagon gave up is all-wheel drive; but it gained a lot in performance and looks.
